My first Reflection

My First Reflection

I understand about something that has been taught by a lecturer. It is as follow:

A professional teacher for me is a teacher who make the students have a critical thinking, creativity, critically, independently, empathy, a teacher who can manage the class, using a suitable method, a teacher who know the students’ background, know the students’ needs, social, know the students ways of learning, for example: kinesthetic, audio, visual, audiovisual, a teacher who have a knowledge (professional), social, pedagogy, and personal.

A teacher should not force the students which they can’t do, it is same as a fish force to climb trees, it is impossible. Teaching is not for everyone. Teaching is an art. The teachers have to improve knowledge and the teacher should reach the students hearts.

We have to use methodology which is different with 20^th century, because our job is to educate and the student has different strength, motivation, and dream, We should show our empathy.

Four competences should have by a teacher:

1. Pedagogic


2. Professional


3. Social


4. Personal

How to make a student to active in the class?

1. Give a game


2. Motivate them

Why does the students silent in the class?

1. Maybe it is because of using social media


2. Have a problem


3. Don’t understand the lessons


4. Puberty


5. Maybe the students don’t like the teacher, example: the teacher talk to fast

What is the problem of education Indonesia?

1. Character


2. Creativity, critically, independently, collaboration(communication skill, team work)


3. Don’t make the student become a robot (example: memorizing)

Why do we need to think critically?

• To different what is the fact and the opinion

How is the critical method?

• Critical thinking comes from our daily activity, which is by asking something, for example: from text (look at the connectivity of character in the text), how does the author describe teacher figure? A man describe as strong, etc. it is a problem, because why the boy always create as a strong, etc.


• We should critic with the narrative text, for example: in Cinderella story, which is after she gets hurt, she is instead happy rather than sad. She is dance etc. so, we should teach to our students, if we get hurt we have to report it.

Factor that influence how to teach:

1. Personal character


2. Experience, preparation, and education


3. Content of teaching

The thing should be master by teacher:

1. Knowledge


2. Passion


3. Experience

Higher order thinking is keep searching the information and solves a problem.

Lower order thinking is a concept that can be guessed.

Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) is a learning method which involving 7 things :

1. Inquiry (to train students to wonder what to discuss)


2. Questioning (to ask)


3. Constructivism (to guess)


4. Cooperative learning


5. Learning community


6. Reflection


7. Modeling
